I have the CANOpen CPV manifolds because I got a great price on eBay; I also have a Nordegren CANOpen manifold for the same reason. Distributed valve manifolds often don't make sense, because they do add a lot of cost (from all the manufacturers I've looked at, e.g. Festo, Nordegren, SMC) but don't add enough value (definitely the case for the machines I'm involved with).

They have a PLC front-end that has a built-in CAN-Open master, and is programmable with CoDeSys by 3S and Festo. Write to me and I'll tell you more about it.
